Did my heart stop beating?!

I have a Polar FT60 and lately it's been "losing" my heart rate during my workouts. I have 100 pounds to loose and EVERY calorie burned counts! Is anyone having this problem with their HRM, Polar or not?

    You need to do one of four things:
    1. wash the strap
    2. make sure it's wet enough
    3. make sure it's tight enough
    4. change the battery in the transmitter.

    If that doesn't fix the problem, then call Polar.

    dad106 took the words out of my mouth. If you notice it happening while exercising, try pulling the contacts off your body for a second before putting them back. I found it sometimes helps get the HRM working again.

    Also make sure it is adjusted properly! I had to tighten mine the other day not realizing having lost some inches it was not a snug as it should be! If all else fails they also sell a gel that is supposed to help!
